Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Can anyone on Kickback recommend me a place in Edinburgh to repair/service an old Heuer Leonidas watch from the late 60's (I think) Needs a new button and a service. Took it to Watches of Switzerland and they wanted ?280 (the watch is worth about ?600) Cheers Quote
heartgarfunkel Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Brian Leydon's the man. Got a shop at the top of Holyrood Road just over from the Cowgate. Quote

TheMaganator Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Lovely. Have you had it for a while or is it a new purchase? Quote
3fingersreid Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 There's a wee jewellers at murrayfield place that are good if your up this end of town Quote
Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Lovely. Have you had it for a while or is it a new purchase? Bought it in 2001 for ?200. Been sat in a drawer for the past five years though Quote
Ritchez Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Any other shop recommendations in Edinburgh? I've inherited an old Seiko watch, not expensive more sentimental value. It could do with a new screen, battery, polish, general service etc. Quote
dobmisterdobster Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I use Goldsmiths for watch servicing. Quote

Daktari Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I've used this place several times for battery fitting and servicing, but I don't know what the full range of services is like. Worth a look - I always found them good for what I wanted with my Tag. https://www.bhjewellers.co.uk/Category/edinburgh-murrayfield-expert-fast-watch-repairs Quote

AlimOzturk Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Christ, the reviews of that watch shop is terrible. He fixed the glass on my watch years ago..had no problem however whe you first enter it is like a madhouse almost put me off. Quote
